Because when we image ourselves in gaming, we always seem to be assholes.  Even with petty issues like the console wars, fanboyism, and trying to break down console evaluation to see which console can out do the other.

It's funny. I like gamer slang. Most (95%) of my friends are not gamers. I'm sad.

Wow. Um, that wasn't really funny at all. In fact, it was just annoying. Huh.

If I ever met someone who was actually like that, I would lose all faith in humanity.

He's black, so he's a thug too, aswell as an antisocial gamer.

General public only has to look at this forum to re-enforce the stigma.

Most "gamers" like gaming being their "thing" anyway. Girls don't understand it.

I didn't find that funny at all because it just seemed obnoxious and stupid, even for a spoof.  But I suppose some people are like that... But any hobby has people who take it perhaps a little too seriously.  That said, different hobbies bring different types of people, and like it or not (I like it) I believe gaming is one of those who are for more lighthearted or "immature" people (For example: Giant Bomb Dot Com).

I could see where it could be funny, but...it was just kinda sad to watch. It's bad when you know real people like that.

That wasn't really a "gamer" more like a Class-A douchebag.

I actually know a guy like that. Not quite that hostile, but he does use that jargon without any hint of irony.

I love how they portray a "gamer" as a mindless CoD douchebag. Almost every term he used was exclusive to shooters... Cause that's the only kind of game, right?
